The Mighty Mapogos

ARATHUSA
15 March 2010 The lions have also been good to us. We have had the Styx, Kahumas, Mapogos and Kagimas here over the last two weeks. The Styx pride was joined by the two lionesses that went missing for a while after the buffalo kill they made with the Mapogos. The Styx pride was nine-strong for some time, but the two lionesses have moved off again – possibly to find males to mate with as they have both lost their cubs. The Mapogos came in for a few days heading further east and north than they have for a long time. They are most likely looking for the Kagima males that have been encroaching on their southern boundary. The Kagima males themselves followed a herd of buffalo onto our property, where they managed to kill a young buffalo during the night. We watched them feed on the carcass for two days. We saw two of the Kahuma lionesses only a few times, but one looked to be in a lot of pain as she had a bad bite wound on her back leg. Although initially it did not look promising, the wound has gotten a lot better due to her fastidious cleaning. http://arathusa.co.za/the-cubs-are-christened/ |
